Formula Grant 15JOVW25GG00108SASP

The Oregon Department of Justice received $896,626 in federal funding through the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program (CFDA 16.017), administered by the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women. The award, effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2027, supports core services, direct intervention, and related assistance for sexual assault victims of all ages across Oregon. The funding enables rape crisis centers and nonprofit organizations—including dual-service providers offering both domestic violence and sexual assault services—to deliver critical victim advocacy, counseling, accompaniment, and support services that help survivors navigate medical, criminal justice, and social support systems during their recovery process.

As the state recipient, the Oregon Department of Justice strategically sub-awards portions of this formula grant to county governments, nonprofit organizations, and community service providers throughout Oregon to extend the reach and impact of sexual assault victim services statewide. This funding supplements existing resources dedicated to addressing sexual assault at the state and territorial levels, enhancing the capacity of local service providers to deliver culturally-sensitive, victim-centered support while maintaining compliance with Department of Justice grant management requirements and financial reporting obligations.
